The Bible in German

Read his article on Luther's take on predestination and see if his theology appeals you to read even further:

There's zero reasons to read Luther's Bible over Einheitsübersetzung.

It doesn't matter "what" he is. What matters is that he's fucking redpilled and trying to save whiteness and masculinity. We must support him, like we support all right-wingers who are trying to restore the West

His heart is too big

Isn't he actually a Marxist?

For a blog post? Just write how you felt about it.

I know that's a cop-out but I'd rather read a genuine opinion made than something that sounds like somebody writing an essay for their lit professor.

I try to aim for around 800 words and usually start with a fact that somebody who hasn't read the book might want to know. Then I move onto plot and theme discussion with references to quotes and/or section of the book that stood out as relevant. One argument per paragraph. 100 words per paragraph.

If it's for something more important then disregard this post forever.

I just want to know what to look for so I can read deeper? or get more into my books. sorry am pleb.

>>9119790

I'd consider what are the core parts of the novel that might be important outside of the text and go from there. For instance, I wrote a post about Snow Crash recently and discussed how it ties in myths from ancient societies into its own futuristic universe thus combining old and new.

If that doesn't help then that 'How To Read a Book' book will probably assist. Good luck.

Usually it says on the back cover or first page

It makes you smart though.

>>9135487
No, it just makes you feel smart. This is also the only reason people enjoy "subtlety," because understanding something that's not obvious makes you feel smart. And, to a certain extent, it should, but don't fall into the trap of thinking you're actually becoming smarter just by reading 2deep4u lit.

What do you believe in? That might not be true? Any controversial or weird thoughts or beliefs?

This book sucks
Maybe add Yusef Komyakaa's book of poetry Dien Cau Die (or at least I think that is the name) It is incredibly powerful work that would greatly add to your student's understanding of the Vietnam War

Favorite stand alone novel is The Courtship of Princess Leia.

Of the new canon, I have only read the Episode VII novel. It was meh. I don't plan on reading any Chuck Wendig stuff just because of the way he carries himself. I hear good things about the Lords of Sith book, and will get to it eventually.

Very much looking forward to the new Thrawn novel coming out in a month or so

The only decent new novels have been the Claudia Grey ones. The rest are pretty shit. The Chuck Wendig ones are unreadable trash.

doesn't she just write the young adult novels?

Olaf Stapledon is the fucking best but holy shit is he bleak.

>>9135161
If you mean his "prose", then totally. He's masterful with the sentence but he reads like a technical manual that mentions spirit and beauty unexpectedly and then you start tearing up.

>>9135155
I find the more times I read it the more accepting of his prose I got. The first time I read L&FM at 14 I got by on pure concept and skimmed the first few chapters and several sections that I didn't really "get", like the end of the second men. The second time a few years later I read the whole thing and actually understood it. From there I've reread Star Maker and L&FM several times, and I think his prose's nature ties into the book's themes quite well. It's sort of a debased version of how the group-mind of the last men experiences the history of humanity. It's the general view without the corresponding personal view that the group-mind also experiences. As first men we're limited to either the in-depth exploration of one person, or the very general treatment of a whole civilization. It also inculcates the sort of tragic appreciation for the death of a civilization he talks about a lot - when we're deep into the individual perspective, we can't see beyond the tragic of that individual (or our own lives). His prose's coldness pulls us out and lets us see the bigger picture, sort of like how you can only see the whole of the earth by leaving it with a spaceship. By reading one of these books you enter an austere, super-worldly realm that allows a form of appreciation you don't normally get in life, then you return to the ground when you close the book.

Sorry for rambling, I hardly ever get a chance to talk about these books. Have you read any of his others?
